contracted by the fearful liberation, and for
several years she did not leave her bed. Her

some faint idea of her condition can be Cleaned
from the fact that three pounds OF Cosmoline or
ointment were used per week in dressing her
sores Finally the physicians acknowledged
their defeat by this Black Wolf, and commended
the sufferer to her all-wise Creator.

who it is limited would vote for Cleve-
land in order that his wife might re-
main the "hrst lady in the land, "
the Bellefontaine Eraminer says:
No woman in the history of the Re-
public who has enjoyed the proud dis
tinction of being Mistress of the White
House, has ever elected such favorable
comment from all quarters as has Mrs.
Cleveland. She possesses not only
beauty, which alone would be all
sufficient to win her way to favorable
publicity, but she combines in her
character all the admirable attributes
that conduce to make charming and
noble woman. Grover Cleveland is
commanding the admiration and re-
spect of the entire country, regardless
of party, by his wisdom and superior
judgment in conducting the affairs OF
the Government. This in itself ought
to be enough to recommend him to
public favor in in 'S8; but neverthe-
less, if he is honored with re-nomina-
ton and reelection next year, it will
be due as much to his bright and
winsome wife who has captivated the
nation as if by magic, as to his SUI
perior capabilities for the Office Of
Chief Executive.

HENRY BLoyNT the polished and
ornate editor of the Wilson MU710r,
has been in demand lately as school
commencement orator. His addresses
at Mount Olive and Bethel Academy
are spoken Of as gems of their kind;
and beside these he has been fairly
deluged with invitations to speak at
other places. As eloquent on the ros-
trum as he is gifted with the pen, we
are not surprised at Brother Blount' S
great popularity and the unprecedented
demand for his services on occasions
Of this kind. As a graceful and
charming writer he is too we'll known
in connection with his admirable
paper to require any words of praise
at Our hands. There is not a paper in

SPEEDY TRIALS PREFERRED.

The press throughout the country
have begun the discussion of the laws
delays. 1t is not very difficult to To-
cate the responsibility for such delays
as are not unavoidable, but it is by no
| means easy to accelerate the course Oh
justice. So far as ordinary civil suits
are concerned, such delays are more a
matter of interest to the parties direct
ly or indirectly affected by them than
to the public at-large. There are ap-
parently no good reasons why nine
out of ten criminal cases should not
be given speedy trial. Only occa-
sionally IS there a case that should be
delayed until prejudice and public ex-
citement abates and the doing of JUS
tlce is rendered more certain.
Judges can usually secure the at
tendance of witnesses and the reason
ably prompt trial of cases when they
are determined to do so. There are
not few Judges who Immediately see
through the 'sthin" excuses given for
the continuance of cases and use their
power to compel the attendance of
witnesses wisely and with wholesome
results. 1t used to be a common
practice, even among reputable law
yers, to defeat the ends of Justice bv
securing the continuance of cases from
term to term, until witnesses died or
were scattered, or until the prosecution
lost vitality by lapse of time. There
has been i great reform in this respect
OF late, thanks to the righteous zeal Of.
the large majority of our judges, and
the improved ethics of the better class
of lawyers. Probably the large ma
jorlty of ineXcusable delays, in the ad-
of justice that occur now
are due to mistrialS, which result from
or perversity Of jurors.
The average juror is very often the
great stumbling block in the way of
justice
